26.2.2024 06:01:29 CET | Business Wire | Press release
A new leap forward in the race towards global connectivity. Lynk Global, Inc. (Lynk), the world’s leading satellite direct-to-mobile phone (Sat2Phone) services provider, today announced that it has successfully tested for the first time in Argentina its patented and proven Sat2Phone technology with Telefónica through its business units Telefónica Argentina and Telefónica Global Solutions (TGS).
The demonstration marks a new milestone on the road to global coverage. Argentina is the second largest country in South America and the eighth largest in the world by land area, with a diverse geography including the Andes mountain range in the west. Lynk’s Sat2Phone technology could enable Telefónica to offer its subscribers enhanced geographic coverage, including extending rural coverage in areas where it is nearly impossible to deploy terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure, such as jungles or mountainous areas. In addition, the Sat2Phone technology could be used as a back-up to ensure service resilience and provide always-on connectivity to IoT networks.
Daniel Dooley, Chief Commercial Officer of Lynk, said, "We are very excited to be demonstrating the capabilities of Sat2Phone with Telefónica in Patagonia, one of the most remote regions in the world. This territory welcomes thousands of visitors every year and thanks to this collaboration, and we can help them stay connected via Lynk's satellite constellation using their existing Movistar subscription.”
Gustavo Arditti, Satellite Business Director of TGS, explained, “This demonstration reinforces Telefónica Global Solutions´ mission to allow people to communicate all over the world. We continue to prioritise ubiquitous connectivity for our subscribers no matter where they are. Given the vast expanse of Argentina, the use of Sat2Phone will ensure that people can stay connected using any unmodified phone, which is a cornerstone of our strategic roadmap.”
